Bricks:  Paint a piece of cork (whatever size you wish 8 x 10 or smaller), 1/16" thick, with a background brick colour, terra cotta, or a light brown.  Then dab different colours of yellow, red, dark brown, etc with a stiff brush or sea sponge,. to represent the different shadings of brick.  Cut the cork into strips 1/4" wide and 5/8" long.  Paint the background of the project area with a grey colour (Lichen Grey or Mudstone) to represent the mortar.  Then lay the pieces in rows using a spacer stick between each to show the mortar.  You leave approx. the same width of the cork as the spaces between the bricks.
